Students may drop in to see a counselor (AC2-133) to complete an Abbreviated Student Educational Plan (SEPA); a two semester SEP. We also have counselors at the Herndon Campus. You can call (559) 324-6400 for counseling availability.

To clear a prerequisite a student will need to meet with a counselor. If the prerequisite was completed at another institution, the student will need to provide the counselor with a transcript verifying the successful completion of the prerequisite course.

Level 2 probation:

If you are in good academic standing and previously attempted a course only ONE time, you are eligible to register for the same course for the 2nd attempt, without approval.

If you are planning to repeat a course for a 3rd or 4th attempt (attempts include “D”, “F”, “W”, “I”, and “NP/NC”), you will need to meet with an Academic Counselor to complete a “Petition to Repeat a Course for Improvement of an Unsatisfactory Grade.”

Petitions to repeat a course for a 3rd attempt will be reviewed by an Academic Counselor and if approved, processed by Admissions and Records.

Petitions to repeat a course for a 4th attempt must been submitted for review to the Academic Standards Committee.

It is highly recommended that you schedule an appointment with an Academic Counselor to create a Student Educational Plan (SEP). A SEP will outline the specific requirements for your specific transfer goals.

An Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) is an associate degree that students can earn to prepare for transferring to a four-year institution.

By earning an ADT, students are guaranteed admission to a CSU campus.

Students that are transferring with an ADT in the same major that they will be majoring in at the 4-year institution, may receive a .10 boost in their cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). Students can talk with a counselor regarding the ADT’s available at CCC.
